    The Freelook Camera is aiming and following the character. However, when the character speed is increased, is start to jittering (something like teleport a bit to the forward position and return back ). I found out that If I disable the avoid obstacle in cinemachine Collider, everything work fine.

    The problem is recorded in video and will be showed in the link

    Any idea of what is happening?

    It's very hard to tell from your video what the problem is.
    Can you show the inspector for the vcam, including the CM collider?
    Also the inspector for the player, and a section of the hierarchy showing the vcam, the main camera, and the player.

    And this is the Hierachy. The "FollowPoint" at Look at and Follow is a children of my "MainCharacter"

    Hi @overpowerogue, could you post a video ont the result you want to achieve (by disabling the avoid obstacle in cinemachine collider as you said) ?

    I just want the camera to follow the character, thats it. But the camera keep on jittering front and back when the character speed increased

    Actually, the camera is following a locator that is parented to your player. So a couple of checks you could make :
    • Check if the player is not glitching in position while walking, specially during this transition. Where is the Follow Point during this transition? Is it "moving" back and fort or is it at a perfectly fixed position relative to your MainCharacter ? Try to debug its position versus the Camera position in Scene mode.
    • Try to deactivate the CM collision. The Freelook might collide with the player?
    • Remove all damping values for your tests.

    I'm wondering whether the collider is detecting the MainCharacter itself as an obstacle. The collider has no way of knowing that the geometry inside your MainCharacter should be ignored - unless you tell it.

    If you tag your player (and all its children) and set IgnoreTag to that tag, that's one way to do it. Another way is to increase the MinimumDistanceFromTarget setting to be larger than the radius of your character. Your current value of 0.1 is quite small.
